#japantrip One of the most visited temples in Arashiyama, the crowd were here for praying of love and health. The atmosphere were so peacefully and everyone were minding their own business - wash hand at small basin that the water is from the mountain.

#naratrip Really enjoyed the energy and peacefulness of this area! At first was only expecting temples and view, but never thought that there are deers surrounding too! So much blending into the nature. There are more temples at the mountain top with paid entrance ticket, but we stop at the middle and bought a wishing-nara-deer as a souvenirs. Recommend to visit this place and allocate roughly 2-3hours for a slow pace tour.

Come to the land of cherry blossoms this March for wonderful experiences. See cherry blossoms and eat sweet strawberries. See the rapeseed fields. April is the season of blooming tulips. I couldn't believe what I saw.

Function: - Unmarried imperial prince in the ancient time will visit the place and stay for more than a year to purify themselves before taking up their responsibilities or duties. Location: - Walking along the Arashiyama bamboo forest with the crowd, you will be able to see the shrine right inside. Operating hour: - 9 am to 5 pm Based on the local people, this is a shrine for women as they believe that making a wish here will help a woman to find their true love, get a child and have a safe child birth. If you are looking for love or you are planning to have a child soon, you may worship here and the wish may come true!!!😁 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In 2024, I wish to travel to Perth.
